What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line in a coordinate plane.

Front

What does the Y-Axis indicate?

Back

The Y-Axis tells the person to go up or down.

Distance is the length of the straight line between two points.

Front

How do you find the distance between two points with the same y-coordinate?

Back

Subtract the x-coordinates and take the absolute value.

Front

How do you find the distance between two points with the same x-coordinate?

Back

Subtract the y-coordinates and take the absolute value.

Front

What is the formula for distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin (0,0) is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.
